If the original price is x, then x-0.10x=0.9x (which is a 10 percent off discount - 10 percent = 0.10 if you move the decimal spot 2 places over), then 10% of 0.9x is not 0.10x due to that 0.1/0.9=1/9, not 1/10. 1/10 of 0.9 is 0.09, so
 0.9-0.09=0.81 of the original price

If the 10% sales tax was added first, it wouldn't matter since you're still getting 10% twice either way

11/21 as a decimal and a percent
pochemuha

11/21 written as a decimal would be 0.52381 and in percent, it would be 52.381%.

To solve percent, since the total or 1/1 is 100%, we have to remember that the answer is less than 100%. So, we move 2 decimal places right to make it into percent. Then, the answer is 52.381.

To solve percent, you would do 100/21. Then, you would get 4.7619047619. You multiply that by 11 and get 52.381. But, you have to move 2 places left since fractions are tens, hundreds. So, you would get 0.52381.
